Jisgaw +0.5K

This used to be a fun little app. Now it crashes within seconds of opening. Too bad.

Boards are difficult to set up, poor control features. Puzzles look lovely though. Just wish I could work them,. Got frustrated. Going to delete this and look for something else instead.

I downloaded this app because I'm interested in the 10k version and wanted to try it, but it needs some work. I look forward to buying 10k after some fixes are in place. Pros: Excellent functionality, best of any jigsaw app I have seen. Would easily be worth a five-star rating if not for the flaws. The windows are a wonderful way to address the large number of pieces. The pieces have a nice jigsaw shape, and there is piece rotation (inexplicably absent from many other jigsaw apps). Cons: The biggest problem is the low resolution. This is a deal breaker because when the pieces are zoomed to a good working size, the detail is too low to easily match them up. Not to mention it looks poor. A related problem is the fact that unselected pieces "fuzz out". This is not necessary - the red border already indicates when a piece is selected, and the loss of detail makes finding matching pieces difficult. Also, the rotate function could use some work. If the piece is not rotated completely in one swipe, it's easy to lose the selection and have to tap it again. This is minor compared to the other two issues, but would be nice if cleaned up.
